Hello Paolo, hello Villu,hello all,
first thanks for all the comments from Villu
Cyprus did not have luck-But perhaps I have little experience-insects in Cyprus does not want to get drunk-the bait was not virtually nothing-few Polistes-at 900 m above sea level I caught one Chrysis to Fructus foeniculi.
But it is very pretty.
You know what this is? Thank you, Pepik

Ciao Pepik !
back!
I'm sorry that your entomological trip in Cyprus wasn't very successful.
I think it's only a question of experience.
It's not easy to collect Chrysidids in the Mediterranean Islands.
Your beautiful specimen is a male of
Chrysis splendidula ssp.
chlorisans Buysson. It is known from Cyprus, Greece (and related islands) and Middle East. Very nice Chrysidid!
for sharing your pictures with us!
Ciao
Paolo

Hello Cosmin,
Yes, some are ,Ecballium elaterium,photographs are not natural,are assisted (It is the obviously-clear that some species at all in nature photography is not).
I use a small illuminated area in a dark room,and careful negotiations until the insects regaining full activity, sometimes I give flowers to eat, mostly bees.I use the time to clean antennae, eyes, body.
I fly a lot of insects,probably should be about a mosquito net.Check it out, sometimes it is very good, sometimes bad.For details usually have to kill insects..
You understand me? Sorry,my English is very bad..
